Photo captions and titles are important photo metadata tags used to store short descriptions, keywords, and contextual information about your images. On a Mac, it’s easy to batch edit photo captions and titles. However, on an iPhone, editing photo metadata—especially for multiple photos — can be frustrating and limited.
Even if you add photo titles on Mac, after syncing with iCloud Photos, the iPhone Photos app still doesn’t display photo titles, and only supports editing captions one photo at a time.
If you’re looking for a way to edit Caption and Title for multiple photos on iPhone, this guide will show you the limitations of Apple Photos and the easiest solution to batch edit photo metadata at once.
Why Is It Hard to Edit Caption and Title for Multiple Photos on iPhone?
Apple’s built-in Photos app on iPhone has very limited batch editing features. When you select multiple photos, you can only perform basic actions such as: Copy, Share, Delete, Add to album.
Unfortunately, editing photo metadata is not supported in batch mode. To edit a caption, you must open each photo individually, access its details view, and manually enter the caption. Additionally:
• Apple Photos on iPhone does not support viewing or editing photo titles at all
• Photo titles added on Mac are not visible on iPhone
Because of these limitations, batch editing captions and titles directly on iPhone is not possible using Apple Photos.
How to Edit a Photo Caption in Apple Photos (Single Photo)
You can edit a photo caption for one photo at a time using Apple Photos:
1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone. Tap a photo to open it
2. Tap the ⓘ (Info) button at the bottom.
3. Tap Add a Caption (or edit the existing caption). Enter your text and close the view
This works—but only for individual photos, not multiple photos.
